Frequently Asked Questions

How can I open a bank account in Estonia as a student?

Most Estonian banks allow students to open an account with a passport/ID and proof of study. Popular options include Swedbank, SEB, and LHV. Book an appointment online and bring your residence permit if applicable.

What are typical monthly living costs in Tallinn?

Average student budgets range from €600–€900/month including rent, food, transport, and essentials. Public transport in Tallinn is affordable and often free for registered residents.

How do I manage EUR payments and transfers?

Use SEPA transfers for EUR within the EU/EEA—usually same‑day or next business day with low fees. For international transfers, compare costs between your bank and fintechs (e.g., Wise) before sending.

Do I need to file taxes for part‑time work in Estonia?

If you earn income in Estonia, your employer usually withholds taxes. You can review and submit your annual return on the Estonian Tax and Customs Board portal (e‑MTA). Keep your TIN and digital ID handy.
